A multifunctional dye, 4-(4-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo)benzenesulfonic acid was identified and synthesized and used to determine trace Fe3+ in three real environmental water samples. The mechanism of action between the dye and Fe3+ ion is discussed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
